Shoes for the Shoeless

Most of us have at least a few pairs of shoes we don’t wear anymore and here’s an excellent thing to do with them: Donate them to the Shoes for the Shoeless campaign. It’s coordinated by Gail Leonardo Sundling, owner of the Delmar Bootery in Stuyvesant Plaza. Last year, with the help of local churches, they collected 11,000 pairs, which is the goal again this year. Shoes are distributed to families in need throughough Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia.

All you have to do is place a rubber band around each pair of wearable shoes you are donating, and bring them to the Delmar Bootery before November 1.
